8. No No: A Dockumentary
Director: Jeff Radice
Stars: Dock Ellis
Synopsis: In the 1970s Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on LSD and his outspoken style courted conflict and controversy, but his latter years were spent helping others recover from addiction. No No: A Dockumentary weaves a surprising and moving story of a life in and out of the spotlight.
There's an inventive and modern approach to this film that makes it an engaging portrait of a troubled yet gifted man. It's an accessible tale of one man's desire to be the best, whilst battling the authority of baseball and his drug habits. — James Arthur Armstrong
